The true story am going to tell l
wish could be read by thousand
women who to-day are periling their
safety and happiness for the sake OF
men who hold them as lightly In
esteem as they do the smoke of their
cigars. A popular actor had lady
friend to whom he turned over the
bulk If his raplufous letters. One
! day she was readng scented note
that had monogram carefully worked
over at its head. There was an aG-
dress to which an answer could be
sent, and tie lady gave it back to the
actor and saying, that was perhaps
worth answering.
Not a week afterwar6 he told her
that he had seen his inanlorata and
she was the wife Of a well known
club man. THAT'S impossible said
she, "some one is personaiiBg that
lady and doug her 40 awful wrong.
You don't know New York ladies
very well and eau be deceived" u
tell you that il IS Mrs" he insisted
~ have been to her house to supper
she entertained me right royalty the
other evening, and 10. night am going
10 take her TO the Casino in the park
as IA sort OF return feast.' II cannot
believe Mrs, with handsome hus-
baud, with happy home, with little
children about her knee, TO keep her
feet from straying, would risk all this
for-nothing, worse than nothing"
said the dissenting friend. "l'll tell
you how III prove it to you,' cried the
actor II am 10 meet her al II in
Seventeenth street, near Fifth Avenue.
She will send for carriage and be
waiting in it for me. | will take a
coupe there AMI you shall go with me.
1t will go hard but shall show you
her face. Then my cab will take
you home.
The desire to discomfit her over-sure
friend, and perhaps female curiosity,
again led to an acceptance of this IN
vitation. The lady occupied box at
the theater and left it when MIS-
dresser came to fetch her. The pair
whizzed into Seventeenth street and
pulled up close behind coach that
was drawn up in the shadiest part of
the street. Evidently the occupant was
on the alert, for hand futtered out of
the vehicle as the actor stood beside
it. He opened the door, but just rs
he was stepping in, he paused, pre-.
tended that he dropped something,
struck match, and CROPPED about
between the wheels.
The betrayed poMan in the car.
riage leaned oul, with face unveiled.
The man lighted wax match and
held II just above the lady's head so
lis rays lighted up her face and show
ed Enthusiastically who she was to the
woman in the coupe drawn close in
behind. With nod of triumph at the
astonished countepance he knew was
Watching from the rear, the actor ex-
claimed, Here it is!' picked up his
imaginary loss, jumped into the coach
and ratified off to the park. What 9
gorgeous thing ii would have been if
that woman had only known how
scandu.ously she was exhibited. The
end has come al last in a divorce

THR TEMPLE OF THE SUN,
the most marvellous related by the
Spaniards OF the wealth Of two worlds.
Il was a reproduction, as far as thst
vas possible, of the great temple at
Csisro, so fully described by Pianos
followers. The temple Was repre-
sented covered with gold and silver
ornaments and festooued with precious
stones. A perpetual fire burned be-
fore the altar, which priests and vir.
gins in white robes tended At one
end OF the temple was the golden
image Of the orb OF day, which the
Peruvians worshipped and In whose
honor the temple was constructed
a ball Of gold whose rays, lit up by
the torches without, penetrated every
portion Of the miniature tsmple. The
tsbleau was wildly and enthusiast
cally app'auded as n OF the hand
eomest ever presented in New Orleans
carnival displays.
oUPAT, THE PERuvIAN UNDERWORLD,
showed the Indian purgatory, the re-
gion where those who are not worthy
o fbeing at once transported to the
realms OF the Sun, spent the interven.
ing I me in a region OF darkness an !
gloom, but where, uolib Q the bells oil
their religions, no punishment was
awarded. Here their souls rested
until sufficiently purified to become a
part oil the sun. The scene was a darE,
gloomy, rocky cave, almost devoid Of
